Gluten Free Enchilada Rice Bowls

January 29, 2020 by predominantlypaleo 14 Comments

 

What started out as “slop” quickly morphed into one of our family’s most favorite meals yet! These Gluten Free Enchilada Rice Bowls just won Tuesday as if they were tacos. 


Gluten Free Enchilada Rice Bowl

Just another typical Tuesday, where I scramble between running errands for some random kid thing that is impossible to find, getting actual work done, and then remembering at the 11th hour that I need to make dinner. It’s a fun game I like to play with myself, to see how close I can border insanity, while still getting ish done.

I had zero plan for dinner but lucky for me had some basics in the fridge and pantry like ground beef, rice, salsa, and cream cheese. But wait, there’s more! Siete Foods just sent out their new enchilada sauces this week and I’ll be damned if those didn’t call my poor-planning butt loud and clear. Like “Hey, we see you over there not having it together so why don’t you mix this enchilada sauce into something and call it dinner.” And you know what Siete Foods? That’s exactly what I did!

Here’s the funny part, and total food bloggery part… I finished dinner just in time for Stella to be carted off to ballet and Noah to be courted off to lacrosse. They ate it, they loved it, they both exclaimed such when I asked them how it was. But if you watched my Instagram stories on this day, you may have seen how much this meal resembled slop. Or worse. So after dropoffs, I ran to the grocery to grab some delicious (and green) garnishes. Gosh durnit, I was gonna blog this recipe and I was going to sneak some photographs in stat.

Keep in mind that it is the dead of winter, the sun sets early, and I was in a literal mad dash to make this happen. But I did it! Beautiful, delicious dinner, with green things to make it look less like something you’d feed a pet. I feel accomplished in all the ways tonight and I’m so glad to be able to share with you.

    I’ve been sick as a dog for days, but you got me to LOL at this post. And when the war inside me finally ends, I’m going to make this. It sounds delicious- and by then I will be done looking at steamed rice and chicken soup for awhile! ?

    I would love to try this recipe but by chance do you have any ideas on what i could use instead of Cream Cheese? Dairy doesn’t really agree with me very well.

      You can use a dairy free cream cheese option like Kite Hill!

    This was SO delicious!!! I made my own enchilada sauce (20 oz worth) and had to use a bunch of extra chicken broth to get the rice all the way cooked. I am assuming it was because I made my own sauce. But, do you rinse your rice beforehand? I didn’t and I’m wondering if that might make a difference too.
    Either way SO good! And I used the Miyoko’s dairy free cream cheese and it worked super well!!! Thanks for an awesome recipe!!!

    My rice never cooked. Tried adding water and cooking for 4 times as long. Any ideas? The flavor was great if the rice was cooked. I’m going to try using cooked rice next time.

      Hmm, I’m not sure. What kind of rice did you use? I used basmati.

About

Jennifer is a wife and mother of 3 in pursuit of better health for her family.
After being gluten free for 4 years, and having a multitude of chronic health issues, she realized there was still too much processed “food” in her pantry and change was needed. Jennifer began feeding her family more meals from WHOLE foods and less from boxes. Her recipes are predominantly paleo, meaning they are free of grain, gluten, dairy, and refined sugar, but make allowances for a few treats and sweets. She believes food can be medicine when used appropriately and that a few changes now can equate to huge benefits later. Healthy food does not need to be flavorless and void of personality, which she aims to accomplish through her many recipes.
